Superdry Founder Julian Dunkerton (Net Worth £441m) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Julian Dunkerton built Superdry from scratch to be a multi-million business. In this interview with Rob, he talks through his journey from opening his first shop at 19 to setting up a new Gin and Juice bar in Cheltenham. Julian talks through his love of retail, and how focusing on others is the key to success in business. If you want to learn how to find what you love, and building something from a gap in the market this conversation is for you. Key Takeaways I love Cheltenham. The place has been very good to me. We are doubling the size of an old office building. It’s quite unique to have something like what we are building outside of London. There are new types of hotels which is slightly more informal but the quality is still really high. How are hotels different from retail? It’s very similar but it’s a different product. It’s quite an accessible concept, that its so expensive that you can’t go. It’s about space and how you walk into a store. Everywhere you go it was visually exciting in the store. You’ve got to be the best in your environment to be successful. Are you someone who is driven by numbers or the product? It has to be both. I’ve been on a long journey and every year I have increased sales, and profitably. You have to follow the consumer. Particularly with fashion, people tend to get caught in a particular moment and they think they have cracked it but the customer always moves on. It’s very easy to make clothes but can they be the best. How do you stay in touch with what people want? The thing is not to get caught in the clouds and stay grounded. You’re here to serve and the moment you forget that then this industry isn’t for you. If you start thinking in isolation, then you will fail. I’m trying to get back into Superdry at the minute because they have made a strategic error, and have gone in the wrong direction. How do you work out what the consumers want? You have to be well travelled, and observe a lot. Understanding your industry is key, then you know that that style of product is doing really well. It’s a very logical industry in reality. Fashion is not what happens on the catwalk but what’s been worn on the street. You have to know what people are wearing in Tokyo, New York, and Korea. How did you get into retail? I didn’t know what else to do. I left school with three very bad A Levels. I went travelling for five or six months and contemplated what I should do next. I was in Turkey at a market and was very excited by it. I realised I was good at it and understood what the public needed. Taking something that is popular and then take it to a different environment is key you don’t always have to think of new ideas. What would you say to someone who is pushing 40 and you haven’t found something you love yet? It’s hugely whatever your age to find something that you love. It’s not as complicated as one imagines. You have to put yourself 100% into it and think about other people first. If you find something that no-one is doing, and look where the gaps are. It’s all about partnerships, occasionally they don’t work, but what a wonderful growing something together is creative. As long as you have opposite skills it’s a positive thing. It’s about thinking about other people. If you both come at it with a vision of creating something together then you’ll be successful. If you’re trying to make the best clothing possible. I would have a commercial view of the world whereas my business partner can design something from that, from anything really. But our biggest selling product I had nothing to do with. What’s the connection with the Japanese styling? Japan is incredibly cool in terms of streetwear and street culture. What we found was that the packaging and the letter styling was the most exciting thing. This was more defined as an artistic endeavour than any other packaging I’d seen. We did it completely differently. The rest of the industry would follow the norms, buying a year out from release a clothesline, and I wanted to do something different. Whereas I would go to a brand and just buy the product there and then. I changed how the industry worked. But at Superdry, this has been forgotten. Are you a reader of books, other entrepreneurs? Yes and newspapers. I read every single newspaper, maybe four or five when I get time. I would only read the news bit, and the business section, not the sports section. It’s been useful to have a big picture view about what is happening in the world. How did you finance the growth phase? I have been self-funding everything. I never spent the money that I made. I would always reinvest. When I sold businesses I would always reinvest the money. I did float at one point, and it did help the growth of the company and the structure that we needed to grow. That was when we were making 25 million profit and a couple of 100 million in turnover. Do you have any mentors or people who have inspired you? I think Dyson story is incredible, and the Apple story is the ultimate. I admire what he achieved, and he was really thinking about the consumer, and the money was the secondary part of it. It’s a paradox, that it’s not all about the money to make loads of money. Best moment in your career/worst moment in your career? The best was James, my business partner, says that he would come and work for me. I had to take him on a coffee journey, to get him back into the fashion industry. The worst moment was that Superdry was going to take a wrong turn and not being able to change it. Best Advice you’ve been given: Share and experience together. I have equal partnerships, so it’s not overpowering and you're doing something equally together. Is there something in the world that you would like to change? I’m a passionate British tax paying human being. I think how we run the country, I think we can do it differently. I don’t think we look at a problem and how we can affect change. If we look at areas that voted Brexit, they are the deprived areas of the country. We are in a stage where manufacturing could come back to this country because of technology. We could bring back manufacturing in those areas. You could affect that change now, as tax-free investment in those areas. No one is thinking about that. What does the word disruptive mean to you? Looking at a market, finding a gap in that market and doing something about it. Best Moments ‘I love Cheltenham. The place has been very good to me.’ ‘I’m a retailer at heart.’ ‘You have to enjoy getting to the product.’ ‘Everything we do we try and be as best as possible.’ ‘You have to follow the consumer.’ ‘You have to put yourself in the consumer shoes.’ ‘I’ve always warm our products.’ ‘If you start thinking in isolation, then you will fail.’ ‘our here to serve and the moment you forget that this industry isn’t for you.’ ‘I will go back to Superdry and sort it out.’ ‘You have to know what people are wearing in Tokyo, New York, and Korea.’ ‘People are so focused on responding they forget to think.’ ‘Moments of peace are really important.’ ‘I’ve always had somebody else to help me.’ ‘I always made sure it was safe before jumping in.’ ‘The chances of inventing something are slim, but taking something popular to a new place is possible.’ ‘Keep watching, keep getting better, keep focusing on the consumer.’ ‘I had my first shop at 19.’ ‘To find what your good at 19 is amazing.’ ‘The Brexit is a very negative mindset.’ ‘It’s all about partnerships.’ ‘You have to have an appreciation of other people's skills.’ ‘Japan is incredibly cool in terms of streetwear and street culture.’ ‘We have done something that has been done before, that many times.’ ‘I changed the market.’ ‘I’m incredibly proud of what we have achieved at Superdry.’ ‘I really embrace intellectually new experiences.’ ‘Pushing forward is something I really enjoy doing.’ ‘Don’t be greedy.’ ‘Don’t spend more than 10% more than what you earn.’ ‘Try not to take on debt.’ ‘Money can’t be the main driver.’ ‘In business you have to be fairly confident in yourself.’ ‘Sometimes you just have to do the right thing.’ ‘We are at the forefront of various different things compared to the rest of Europe.’ ‘The world thinks that Superdry is Japanese.’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Should You Invest in Supercars? Tom Jaconelli on Why Supercars Are a New Asset Class

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob interviews Tom Jaconelli, co-owner of Romans International with over £30 million worth of supercars. Tom talks about the luxury car market, from which models make the best investments to the shocking maintenance costs of hypercars. He shares stories about celebrity clients, cars that appreciate versus depreciate and gives tips for aspiring collectors. Tom Jaconelli REVEALS: That he still gets excited about special cars, the Bugatti Veyron was his first supercar experience as a child and remains one of the most exciting cars he's ever seen. How he helped grow the family business to £100 million in annual turnover, with their showroom currently holding over 100 cars worth around £30 million. His fact driven and transparent sales approach, which sometimes talks customers out of deals but builds greater long term trust. His profits and losses in the business, revealing they've made up to £400,000 on a single car but have also lost around £100,000 on others when market conditions shifted. What celebrities he has worked with including Rod Stewart, Simon Cowell and members of One Direction That many high profile clients now prefer understated vehicles rather than flashy supercars. Why he focuses on improving the business rather than expanding it further, prioritising quality over quantity. The cars that will appreciate well since they represent "the last of something" in an increasingly digital and electrified car market. BEST MOMENTS "These cars are starting to become their own asset class, people of wealth are thinking, right, I want a property portfolio, I want a stock portfolio. I want maybe a bit of crypto and they're now thinking, I also want a car portfolio." "For me, if I had 50 grand, I'd be probably looking more at some of like the German muscle cars, like the C 63 AMGs, maybe even an RS six V 10. You know, they don't make them anymore." "People say you shouldn't mix family and business, don't they? I think you know, being a family member of this business, you are more driven by it." My dad, Paul Elli. He is the ultimate. He's the goat, he can sell ice to the Eskimos. He has a natural gift of the gab and he won't even know what he's selling a lot of the time."

Rory Stewart | How to Fix Broken Britain | How Rory Stewart Would Fix Politics in the UK

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob is joined by former UK politician Rory Stewart for a discussion on the state of British politics, including government inefficiency and the rise of populism. Rory Stewart gives his take on everything from the UK's economic challenges to Trump's leadership style, drawing from his own experience in government and talks about how we could fix politics in the UK. They also discuss inequality, political communication and the many flaws in democracy and politics right now. Rory Stewart REVEALS: His thoughts on Trump Why many Britons feel uncomfortable and awkward about the UK at the moment The UK isn't in rapid decline but stagnating whilst the US grows faster Why current inequality in Britain stems from the 1980s Thatcher-Reagan era, where privatisation without regulation or monopoly prevention allowed private companies to exploit public utilities Why politicians deliberately lie during elections Our current democratic system is broken How government is exponentially more complex than even large businesses, making it nearly impossible for voters to understand its full complexity. How the most successful disruptors in politics (like Thatcher) succeed BEST MOMENTS "During the second World War, our economy contracted by 45%. We were about half as rich in 1945 as we were in 1939. Where the UK is, is it's been through a phase of kind of 10, 12 years of being pretty stagnant at a moment where the US has been growing fast." "The top three people in the US, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, their wealth is equivalent to the bottom 50% of the entire American population. They now have more money than 160 million American people. Thank God we haven't reached those levels yet." "I kept saying to them, what are you doing? Right? All of you know, looking at your spending plans that you're gonna have to put up taxes and borrow more money because you've got a 70 billion pound black hole and all of them denied it all the way through the election." "The problem in America and Britain is we never seem to get the balance right and boy has the balance gone wrong with the billionaires, they have created virtual monopolies. Think about Google, it’s got us all over a barrel." "I don't know whether I'd go for Prime Minister again but I'd definitely like to look at doing something for the country. I think there's no job in government, no job in the world, more interesting than government that touches lives more directly."

Michael Lewis | The Biggest Financial Crash is Coming | Author of The Big Short Reveals Why

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Is the biggest financial crash about to happen? Rob interviews acclaimed author Michael Lewis to discuss why right now we could be waiting for the biggest crash in history. They discuss financial markets, government trust and economic instability. Lewis also shares his thoughts on potential market crashes, cryptocurrency as well as the controversial figures shaping today's economy including Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried. Michael Lewis REVEALS: Why a potential future market crash could be catastrophic if triggered by a lack of faith in the US government That financial markets are rigged Why you should ignore and stay away from crypto His thoughts on why Elon Musk is power drunk and ignorant The real reason neither U.S presidential candidate addressed the debt crisis The underlying trait of all successful people What he thinks of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried BEST MOMENTS "If it's a government started crisis... like a collapse in faith in the U.S. government, in the U.S. government debt then it's much bigger than the financial crisis because there's nothing to put it out." "We have a president here whose M.O. is to destroy trust. He's really good at it, he finds places where people trust people or institutions that are trusted, and he wrecks them." "The markets work, it's constant game theory, once something's identified, it's no longer useful and it's a game where the rules change every day." "Is Elon Musk a net benefit to humanity or a megalomaniac?"

Are Reform UK Good for Business? Zia Yusuf's Plan for Fixing Broken Britain

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob talks to Zia Yusuf, chairman of Reform UK and successful tech entrepreneur who sold his company for £230 million. Yusuf talks about his experiences in business and politics and outlines Reform UK's mission to fundamentally change Britain's direction. Yusuf's shares his vision for fixing broken Britain, from stopping illegal migration to rebuilding the NHS and fostering a pro-success culture. With Reform now polling at 26-27%, Yusuf reveals his optimism for making Nigel Farage the next Prime Minister and transforming the UK into a country that rewards entrepreneurship, innovation, and hard work. Zia Yusuf REVEALS: Why Reform UK's have risen in popularity, growing from 14% to 27% in polls in just 8 months. That Reform UK are close to becoming the largest party in the UK by membership. Why he believes the UK's immigration policy has become unsustainable. That Reform UK is built on a grassroots funding model, with over 90% of costs covered by membership fees and small donations, deliberately avoiding dependence on large donors to maintain independence. The party plans to eliminate income tax on earnings below £20,000, reduce corporation tax thresholds and cut regulations to boost entrepreneurship. Why he chose politics over starting another business. Why Reform UK are like a startup, disrupting established parties. BEST MOMENTS "Anyone who has been brought up in the system, Tory, Labour, that whole westminster ecosystem, will be unable to fundamentally change how the system works and that is what we have to do." "I love this country, it's given me so much opportunity. I'm going to stay and fight and I still think we can turn this around." "We've got to change the culture in this country, return our culture to one where success is viewed as a good thing. Stop hating landlords, stop hating business owners, stop hating millionaires." "We need to be clear that if you come here illegally, you will never get the right to remain under any circumstances and you will be deported to the country from which you came." "When I first came into politics... I said this is still a country where people literally risk their lives to come to, even from France. If we're not careful, we will no longer have a country that people fall over themselves wanting to come to."

Gary Cardone | Why I Put 86% of my Wealth into Bitcoin

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob speaks to Gary Cardone about his massive bet on Bitcoin, with 86% of his liquid wealth invested in the cryptocurrency. Gary shares his views on money, dismissing diversification as a myth, while explaining why he sees Bitcoin as both protection against failing systems and an opportunity for unprecedented wealth. Gary Cardone REVEALS: Why he has 86% of his liquid net worth in Bitcoin Why he believes diversification is a myth that keeps people from getting rich. That he doesn’t trust the government and banking systems How he has prepped to be self-sufficient and ‘been ready for 30 years’ for a crisis Many Bitcoin owners are unprepared for tax obligations and audits He sees Bitcoin as a "time machine" that will accelerate returns beyond what real estate or other assets could provide. How he minimises his income to avoid taxes, preferring to build wealth through appreciating assets BEST MOMENTS "I think Bitcoin is an unbelievable call option on the future of digitising planet Earth and without me paying an extra penny, it is an insurance policy”. "Most of the people on this planet that have a shitload of money, they didn't go to school.” "I call them degradings accounts, not savings accounts...because they're not savings you are losing your money, but being marketed by the banks and the governments that you're protecting your money." "This theory that I need to be diversified is a joke. It's not, that's not true. Nobody gets rich being diversified." "Bitcoin is the only time machine I can buy.

From selling his first Porsche at age 12 to now managing a billion pound inventory of luxury cars, Tom shares his knowledge on the exclusive world of rare Ferraris, McLaren F1s, and Formula One classics. Tom reveals which supercars are overhyped, which are under appreciated gems and shares insider investment tips. REVEALS: The greatest supercar of all time The holy grail of classic Ferraris Why Formula One cars are significantly undervalued investments Why not all classics are worth the hype That he strongly dislikes electric vehicles, believing they'll only last about 10 years before needing expensive battery replacements, unlike classics that can last centuries. How Ferrari has evolved beyond being just a car company to become a true luxury brand What cars he recommends for investors BEST MOMENTS "I'm not really one who has many regrets because I've always been fortunate enough in life”. "Carrera GT is the best sounding car of all time. You talked about a V10 Formula, Formula 1 derived engine, and it sounds phenomenal when you start it up, but it sounds way better when you drive it." "I think Ferrari are so on a different level that they are a luxury brand. They should be more associated with something that's within LVMH. Their rival is more Hermes than maybe Lamborghini." "If somebody gave me a trillion... I would [wake up] tomorrow morning and do exactly the same as what I'm doing today because I'm buying and selling the world's greatest cars.

Richard shares his eight secrets to building a successful business, discusses his current passion for helping medium sized companies scale up and explains why he's investing £200 million of his own money into promising businesses. Richard Harpin REVEALS: How he started HomeServe with £50,000 of life savings How he nearly went bankrupt His key secret, to copy and pivot, finding successful business models and improving upon them He has always been entrepreneurial, starting by breeding rabbits at age 5, becoming "Ricardo the magician" at age 9 and establishing about six businesses before founding HomeServe at age 20 Why Richard is focused on helping the UK's 168,000 medium sized businesses scale up Why the UK lacks support for companies transitioning from startup to large enterprise. Why businesses need revolution at the start, but should focus on constant evolution as they grow BEST MOMENTS "I think the UK is the best place to run a global business, I think it's a great place for entrepreneurs to start a business... The only issue is, as a country, we're not that good at scale ups." "I did [pay a big load of tax when selling the company] and I was happy to pay it because capital gains tax is at a reasonable level. I don't believe in all these entrepreneurs that sell up and move to Jersey or Monaco." "We're taught at school that copying homework is bad, we might get expelled for it. In business, I think copying is good." "Disruption is what you do at the start of your business when you're inventing the model...

How to Fix Britain | Reform MP Richard Tice on Rebuilding the UK

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob interviews Richard Tice, a businessman and Reform UK politician, who delivers a critical and candid assessment of the UK's current challenges. Tice doesn't just criticise though, he offers bold solutions to what he sees as a "confidence crisis" gripping Britain. From slashing wasteful government spending to scrapping inheritance tax and net zero policies, Tice lays out Reform's vision for revitalising the UK economy. Rob and Richard’s conversation tackles everything from Labour's catastrophic start to immigration, crime and the cultural values Tice believes are essential to Britain's recovery. Richard Tice REVEALS: That the UK is experiencing a confidence crisis with people getting financially, socially, and culturally poorer The UK is "absolutely salvageable" with the right leadership and hard work Why Labour have had such catastrophic start to power Reform's economic plan, including raising the income tax threshold to £20,000, scrapping inheritance tax, cutting regulations and implementing an approach that prioritises making ordinary people better off The UK needs to abandon net zero policies which he claims are causing uncompetitive energy prices, killing industries and driving up costs for ordinary people Why he proposes a freeze on immigration, arguing the UK should focus on getting the 9 million economically inactive Britons back to work Why he advocates for a ‘broken windows’ approach to crime; prosecuting every offense no matter how small, ensuring swift consequences and creating parallel private prosecution systems if needed That he believes the UK must proudly defend its Christian heritage and British values, reject concepts like Sharia courts and push back against what he sees as confusing modern ideologies like the concept of multiple genders BEST MOMENTS "I've run businesses and I've seen where a good business can be ruined by a bad boss in a couple of years, but a business that's literally gone into bankruptcy can be turned around by a good boss in two to three years." "If you don't risk anything, you risk everything. Taking risks is a good thing and sometimes things go wrong. It's called life and that's why we have the limited company structure, so we don't lose our home." "In America, you're not really an entrepreneur until you've gone bust at least once. Here, you go bust once, and I mean, you're castigated forever. It's like Hall of shame and you almost never get out of it." "Family. Community. Country. If you and your family are working hard and achieving and becoming better off, then you're contributing to your local community and if all the families in that community are working hard and getting together, your community is becoming better off." "You've got the highest taxes for 70 years, we've got the highest government spending, much of it wasteful, for 70 years. The most regulations for 70 years, the highest national debt for 70 years and the lowest growth decade for 70 years."
